The Biodiversity Park Project by Milan University’s Faculty of
Agricultural Sciences and Food. Agro-biodiversity is achieved in greenhouses
that have been cultivated with plants coming from different continents and different
eras that tell stories through their shapes, sizes, colors and smells. The path
through the greenhouses and open spaces becomes a sensory experience which connects
us to both the earth and the food. A digital interface provides an additional
means of information. The dialogue between human and plant generates
reflection, curiosity, memories, desires and knowledge.

a thousand plants and eight greenhouses

Agro-Biodiversity is the result of the coming
together of culture and nature, an expression of the many civilizations that,
over time, have found in various places on the planet many different ways to
produce food and shape landscapes, with the aid of technical solutions. This
achievement is recounted through seven stories that explore the history of
agriculture and the origins of food and non-food cultivated plants from around
the world.

How to Feed
a planet with ten billion people with conservation and a sensible use of
resources without compromising the overall health of the ecosystem. Attainable
goals achievable through research and practices such as those utilized in
botanical gardens during the middle ages.
